In Keady, County Armagh, the former Scala Cinema sits forlorn and derelict, with (in November 2013) a £95,000 price tag. A very large, stand-alone building on the outskirts of this small town, the Scala Cinema is listed in the 1963 & 1966 editions of Kine Year Book when it was operated by C.J. Mallon JP, and was equipped with a British Thompson Houston(BTH) sound system. It is mentioned in the Cinema Theatre Association 1980 Cinema Directory, which shows it having 400 seats (it looks much larger) and the British Film Institute Handbook for 1988-89, which records even fewer seats, just 200. Hopefully more information will come to light in due course.
